    I feel sorry for a kitten when it is in a cage - but then I think about how to get the rest of them cause they have just been through a big learning experience - might get another one but they usually shift to new territory and come back grown up and very wise
    You are doing some great work FatLabrador - a real credit to you

    There should be a bounty on cats I've paid it before, just to get the young blokes into doing the right thing
    My catkilling has slow down, but it took some time out

    Took this lot at 50m, pop them all before they knew they were being shot at.

    i wouldn't use the word ULTRA . . . what i will say is its consistently around 1MOA at 100yds at the range in this rifle in good conditions - it will hold that 1MOA out to +2-300yds if a few things are taken into consideration
    1. the wind
    2. the wind
    3. the wind
    4. good gear and the right attitude

    in the field bring your A game with the lessons learned at the range

    Hell hound decided that the possum on the driveway need to be shut the f*** up at about 11pm, so out comes the 22 mag.
    Probably should of shot it from somewhere other than down wind as I got a nice red shower on impact

    How bloody close were you standing Pengy?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
